End-to-end healing that lasts a lifetime
Medical detox, psychiatric care, counselling, family therapy, yoga, relapse prevention and aftercare, everything you need to recover and stay well.
Medical Detox Program
24×7 supervision • Safe withdrawal • Comfort protocols
Medical detoxification is the first, safest step for anyone dependent on alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, cannabis, stimulants, tobacco or other substances. Unsupervised withdrawal can be dangerous, alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures and delirium tremens, opioid withdrawal is intensely uncomfortable, and abrupt cessation of many substances triggers severe medical and psychiatric complications. At Realize, medical detox is delivered in a calm, dignified inpatient setting under continuous supervision by our psychiatrists, critical-care physician, general physician and specialised nursing team. Every admission begins with a thorough medical and psychiatric assessment, vitals, cardiac review, liver and kidney function, screening for infections and nutritional deficiencies, and evaluation for co-existing mental illness. Substance-specific protocols are then used: benzodiazepine tapers for alcohol, buprenorphine or symptomatic care for opioids, structured tapers for benzodiazepine dependence, and supportive medication for stimulants and cannabis. Throughout, we prioritise comfort, safety and dignity, and lay the foundation for the rehabilitation and long-term recovery work that follows.

Comprehensive Psychiatric Care
Diagnosis • Medication • Long-term wellness
Comprehensive psychiatric care is the medical heart of everything we do at Realize. Whether you are seeking help for depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, insomnia, sexual health, women's mental health, geriatric conditions or dual-diagnosis with substance use, our consultant psychiatrists provide careful diagnosis, personalised medication management and long-term follow-up. We take time to listen, explain what is happening in plain language, involve the family with your consent, and use modern medications at the lowest effective doses with clear monitoring for side effects. For patients who need it, we coordinate with our therapists, general physician, pulmonologist and critical-care team to deliver truly integrated care. Confidentiality is absolute, and our goal is always the same: to help you feel like yourself again and stay well long-term.

Are psychiatric medicines addictive?
Most antidepressants, mood stabilisers and antipsychotics are not addictive. A few (like benzodiazepines) can be, we use them briefly and cautiously.
Will I need medication for life?
It depends on your diagnosis and course. Many patients taper safely after 9–12 months; others benefit from longer maintenance.
Are online consultations available?
Yes, secure video consultations are available for follow-ups and select assessments.
Counselling and Therapy
CBT • ERP • DBT-informed • Trauma-focused
Talking therapy is one of the most powerful tools in mental-health care, and at Realize we offer evidence-based psychotherapy delivered by qualified clinical psychologists and counsellors. Our therapists are trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for depression, anxiety and insomnia, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation, trauma-focused CBT and EMDR-informed techniques for PTSD, motivational interviewing and relapse-prevention therapy for addiction, and structured couples and family therapy. Sessions are confidential, non-judgmental and paced to your needs. Whether therapy is your sole treatment, a companion to medication, or part of a de-addiction rehabilitation program, our goal is always to give you practical tools you can use for life.

Family Counselling
Rebuild trust • Improve communication • Support recovery
Mental illness and addiction do not happen in isolation, they affect entire families, and the family often plays a decisive role in recovery. Family counselling at Realize is a structured, safe space where families learn what a loved one is going through, understand their own reactions, rebuild trust after conflict or betrayal, improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and coordinate around treatment. Our therapists guide sessions with respect for every voice in the room, without blame. Family counselling is particularly powerful in de-addiction (where families often feel exhausted and mistrustful), in adolescent care (where parent-child conflict is common), in perinatal mental health (where partner support transforms outcomes), and in caring for a loved one with severe mental illness.

Yoga and Mind-Body Healing
Yoga • Pranayama • Mindfulness • Meditation
Recovery is not only a matter of medication and therapy, the body and breath matter deeply too. Our yoga and mind-body healing program integrates traditional yoga, pranayama (breath practices), guided meditation and mindfulness with modern psychiatric care. Sessions are gentle, evidence-informed and suitable for beginners; they help calm the nervous system, reduce cravings, improve sleep, strengthen emotion regulation and reconnect patients with their bodies after periods of numbness, addiction or trauma. Practices are taught by certified instructors and integrated with your treatment plan under psychiatric guidance.

Relapse Prevention
Trigger mapping • Anti-craving support • Long-term follow-up
Relapse is not failure, it is a well-understood part of recovery from addiction and many mental-health conditions, and the single most important thing we can do is anticipate and prevent it. Our relapse-prevention program is built for anyone who has completed detox or an acute treatment phase and wants to protect their gains. We work with you to map your specific triggers (people, places, emotions, times of day, financial stress, relationship dynamics), build coping and refusal skills, use anti-craving medications where clinically appropriate (naltrexone, acamprosate, buprenorphine, varenicline), maintain treatment of any underlying mental illness, and set up a structured schedule of follow-up visits, family check-ins and community support. Where relevant, we help set up app blockers, self-exclusion tools and financial safeguards. Relapse prevention is a partnership; we stay with you for the long haul.

Relapse Prevention, your questions answered
What if I relapse?
Come back to us straight away, a lapse can become a full relapse without quick, judgment-free support.
Do I need medication for relapse prevention?
Anti-craving medication is very helpful for many patients but not everyone; decisions are shared.
How long is follow-up?
We recommend structured follow-up for at least 12 months, with lifelong access afterwards.
Is family involved?
Yes, family involvement is one of the strongest predictors of sustained recovery.
Aftercare Program
Life after treatment • Community • Long-term wellness
Discharge is never an endpoint at Realize. Our aftercare program is designed to walk with you long after the intensive treatment phase ends, because sustained recovery is built in the weeks, months and years that follow. Every patient leaves with a written aftercare plan covering medication schedule, follow-up visits, therapy continuation, family responsibilities, work or study reintegration, and 24×7 emergency access to our team. Regular follow-up visits monitor mood, sleep, cravings, medication and life stress; refresher therapy sessions strengthen coping skills; family check-ins keep support strong; and community group sessions provide peer connection. When life changes, new job, marriage, pregnancy, loss, retirement, we adjust the plan with you. Confidentiality is absolute, and no concern is ever too small to bring up.
